How often should the Bora be serviced?
2 Answers
The Bora should be serviced every 5,000 kilometers. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. The Bora's body dimensions are: length 4663mm, width 1815mm, height 1462mm, with a wheelbase of 2688mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The Bora is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum power speed of 5000rpm. The maximum torque is 200Nm, with a maximum torque speed range of 2000 to 3500rpm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving my Bora for almost three years now, and the maintenance cycle is actually quite easy to remember. The manual states it's every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, whichever comes first. However, based on my personal experience, it's best not to skip the first maintenance—get it checked at 5,000 kilometers. After that, it mainly depends on the oil you use. If it's regular mineral oil, keep an eye on it around 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers; with full synthetic oil, you can confidently go up to 10,000 kilometers. Pay attention to your driving habits—if you often drive on dirt roads or take frequent short trips, you'll need more frequent maintenance. It's best to check tire pressure monthly, and a dirty air filter directly affects the AC, so these small tasks should be done promptly. Oh, and for critical parts like spark plugs, don't skimp—follow the manual and replace them every 40,000 kilometers for safety.
